Description: Concerns vehicles built between 26 March 2007 and 20 April 2007.

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because the steering dampers of the vehicles concerned have a nickel coating which is susceptible to peeling. The resulting chips can cause a partial or total blockage of the damper oil bores. This can make the steering stiff. Blocking can occur only as a result of large-scale loss of coating and at full lock (turning, manoeuvring). If the steering blocks during travel, falls and injuries can occur.Voluntary corrective actions taken by the importer.

The product poses a risk of injuries because the front brake calliper may not be fixed in position with the sufficient tightening torque. If the screw joints of the brake calliper become loose, the front wheel can be jammed.Voluntary corrective action taken by the manufacturer.

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because in the event of inappropriate handling, such as pulling roughly, hitting objects while manoeuvring, or if the motorcycle falls over, the hand protector on the handlebar controls can twist. It could then touch the handbrake or clutch control causing brake or clutch malfunction. In addition, if the twisted hand protector lightly touches and operates the handbrake control, the brake linings may touch the brake disc and the resulting heat generation would cause the brake pressure to build up which could slow down the front wheel, even so far as to block it.

Three incidents reported.Voluntary corrective action taken by the manufacturer.

Description: Motorcycles manufactured between January 2005 and November 2007 are affected. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN):

- F 800 S: ZP15000 - ZP23168- F 800 ST: ZR00000  ZR09416.

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because of insufficient pressure equalisation in the fuel tank which may cause it to expand close to the rear wheel and thus become damaged by rubbing against the rear wheel tyre.Voluntary corrective action taken by the manufacturer

Description: The vehicles concerned were manufactured from 07.2006 to 03.2007.

Fire.

The product poses a risk of fire because during the manufacturing process for the fuel lines, there were some isolated cases of minor damage to the fuel lines. Fuel could leak through the textile housing of the line ends and cracks could form in the fuel lines. The possibility of the fuel igniting on contact with hot vehicle parts cannot therefore be excluded.Voluntary corrective action taken by the producer.

The combination of cross-spoke rim and tyre pressure monitoring system may produce a slow and also a sudden loss of air pressure. Sudden loss of air pressure means that the vehicle can no longer be controlled safely.

The vents of affected vehicles are replaced with tyre pressure monitoring sensors and the tyre pressure monitoring system is deactivated.Voluntary corrective actions taken by the importer

Description: This affects vehicles built between 2004 and 2006 with the type-approval number e1*2002/24*0254*00 and additions.

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because, in certain cases, the front bolt of the paralever can come loose. If the bolt comes out completely, the stability of the rear-wheel drive unit is no longer ensured and the vehicle may be unsafe to ride.

Description: The affected vehicles were manufactured between May 2007 and 17 August 2008 and have the type-approval number e1*2002/24*0352.

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because the procedure used in the past for torquing the threaded fasteners securing the sprocket to the sprocket carrier (tightening torque 25 Nm) resulted in excessive fluctuations in preload force, on account of the fact that the nuts used are of the self-locking type with clamping element. This, in turn, meant that individual threaded fasteners worked loose.

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because the reduced torque suffices to release the threaded fasteners securing the front brake disc. At the limits of the range of tolerances the depth of engagement of the threaded fasteners might be insufficient. There is a possibility of threaded fasteners working loose. Under worst-case conditions there is a possibility of the brake disc becoming loose. Consequently, the possibility of safety-critical riding conditions occurring cannot be excluded.

Description: The motorcycles concerned have a type-approval number e1*2002/24*0352 and were built between August 2008 and October 2008.

Injuries

The product poses a risk of injuries because, due to irregularities in the manufacturing process, the front-wheel quick-release axles could break due to reduced wall thickness. Severe loads on the front wheel (off-roading, for example) could cause damage to the quick-release axle.
